Still here...

Still on my holibobs, really enjoying ourselves. I got poorly when we were supposed to do last minute shopping and get ready, urgh. So half of the stuff I planned to take with us, is still in ABZ.
First week was a bit cooler with the temperatures, but now for the last week we have been getting 20 and above, so it is now proper summer....
Had my check up, things are ok, and it was a great stress relief too.
The flights were both pleasant, and the views were stunning! As we approached Copenhagen, we saw lots of little bonfires scattered about, as the night we travelled is also the night when Sweden and Denmark celebrate the midsummer solstice with bonfires. Finland does the same a few days earlier. 

 City lights and sunset....

 Advertising for framing services....

 The river Aura

 Turku Medieval Market. Lots to see and I wish I had lots of money to buy all the cool things we saw

Turku Cathedral

 St.Michaels church

 River Aura closer to the harbour

 Some city cycling near my mums...

 My great bicycle. Bought cheap, yet a good bike...

A massive hare having a nap in the yard...

Back to the routine....

We came back yesterday from our easter holiday in Finland. The temptation of not coming back is growing......
Coming back to the overwhelming smell of damp and mould, with poop weather forecast for the rest of the week is enough to make holiday blues worse....
It was an adventure at least. Leaving the UK wasn't as easy as we thought, as the airport was like a beehive. Almost all flights were badly delayed. We were supposed to have 50 minutes between flights in Copenhagen, but our flight was so badly delayed that we ran out of the plane to a closed gate and just managed to get on our connection flight. Phew! Not to mention how the first flight was rather bumpy, 1 hour 40 min flight was 1 hour and 30 minutes of sitting on a washing machine. Not very pleasant. The trip was saved though, with the 2nd flight being very smooth, and clear sky meant that we were able to see city lights far below us, stunning views!
Flights coming back were nice too, so all in all it was all good!
Now here is the load of piccies....

 Just landed in Turku

 Moomin greetings

 Kauppatori and the tram-ice cream kiosk

 This is what makes 2nd hand markets fun.... :)

Was very chuffed with this dvd!

 Still icy in places...

 More 2nd hand market finds...

 Hurrying towards the hotel spa, all the swimming!

 Hotel Caribia

 Wooden house all tatty and broken, shedding colourful tears maybe?

 Kauppahalli, indoor market. Love the athmosphere

 Hesburger with the healthier choices, ryebread burger, sidesalad and milk, yum yum...

New addition to skin...

Back "home"

Last lot of my fucking about with the camera....

I missed my hound. That nose <3

Came back, and next day had a massive row with the spousal unit. I told him that this is not my forever home. His answer to that was chucking my coffee mug, thus breaking a drawer and screaming. Nice to see how grown ups know how to talk and communicate....He is a very solitary man, so he does not see, how we might need socialising, friends, nature and hobbies. We should just be happy sitting at home watching tv, or watch him play playstation.....

Men. Urgh.

Almost the end....

We'll be flying back to the horror on the 9th. Enjoying my last few days of motherland, then back to the same old.
Added holiday piccies....

Enjoying...

So lovely to be back. Home. I think in a few years time, I'll relocate back here again.
It's just too nice......

All the pictures are taken within Turku city area....The lake is a 25 minute drive from the city centre.
I miss the nature, and the ability for wild swimming....
